Wynonna makes her bed and lies in it

I took these pictures and wrote this post in my head over a week ago, but it's taken me this long to figure out whether "lies" or "lays" is the correct word choice for the title. Why does English have to be so hard sometimes? Finally, I consulted Grammar Girl and I think I've got it right. Have you met Grammar Girl? She's hysterical. And very smart. Seriously. If you're a grammar nerd, you should introduce yourselves. She will be your new BFF.

I love Wynonna! She is so adorable. Clearly, she is making a 'statement' about HER space. I think you are going to have lots of photo ops when the 'girls' are moved into their palatial abode.

I've never met a pig. The closest I've ever been to one was at a livestock show. I think they are really fascinating, as their feet/legs do not appear to be strong enough to support their bodies. I love their feet, however, because it looks like they have on high heels! ;) What do pigs feel like? Is their skin rough or soft, is their hair coarse/stiff or fine/soft? Do they let you touch them? Do you bathe a pig? Is there such a thing as a skinny pig??? I have so many questions this morning????!!!!!! I guess I need to google pigs and read up. Have a great day...

Now that the chicken palace is complete and the property line is severed, it's time to draw up for plans for a palatial setting for Miss Wynonna. She's giving you a hint, don't ya think?Ha!Best always, Sandra

That Wynonna is something else and is definite about "one little piggy slept here!" Just one little correction: Your "...and good fences make good neighbors" should read "...and good fences make "for" good neighbors." I know it makes no sense ... just because you have a fence doesn't necessarily mean you're going to have a good neighbor!

Right on, Wynonna - would you like me to make some signs and come help protest? I'm sure I could gather up a few piggy friends to lend a trotter too. Pigs rule, chickens....um....drool???? Nope. Just what DO chickens do?

You quoted the end of Robert Frost's poem, "Mending Wall" to convince Wynonna of the positive aspects the wall. I think she prefers the first line of the poem, "Something there is, that doesn't love a wall." :)

Any day with a Wynonna post is a great day! This allows me to get my 'pig fix' without having to take on the husband to get one of my own.

Now I have to check out Grammar Girl to see what she's all about. There are times when I pity anyone who is trying to learn English ... including natives like us. I never allow anyone foreign to apologize for what seems like poor English. Our language makes no sense, and I applaud any and all effort.
